Where this technology may be going is described at the KurzweilAI website. The Kurzweil description refers to "DARPA." What is DARPA? Sean knows, but I really didn't, although I might have heard of it at some point.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was
established in 1958 to prevent strategic surprise from negatively
impacting U.S. national security and create strategic surprise for U.S.
adversaries by maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S.
military.
To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current practical problems through applied research. DARPA’s scientific investigations span the gamut from laboratory efforts to the creation of full-scale technology demonstrations in the fields of biology, medicine, computer science, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, material sciences, social sciences, neurosciences and more.
As the DoD’s primary innovation engine, DARPA undertakes projects that are finite in duration but that create lasting revolutionary change.

Does DARPA know about the NXT 2.0? That's really what I want to know.
